Workshop

Construction and demolition waste in CityLoops

Final webinar & workshop

27 September 2023, 13:00 - 16:00
- online

Join the CityLoops project for a final webinar and workshop on Construction and Demolition Waster (CDW), which will present the main results from the project's work with CDW, providing an overview of how findings can be replicated in other cities.

The CityLoops legacy includes a Handbook for Circular Construction intended for cities and local governments that are new to the concept, as well as nine Replication Packages on:

  1. Planning and decision making;
  2. Tendering and procurement;
  3. Circular demolition;
  4. Circular soil use;
  5. Data and material passports;
  6. Recycling concrete;
  7. Material banks and marketplaces;
  8. Stakeholder involvement; and
  9. Business cases.

The final workshop will address these Replication Packages, sharing recommendations and lessons learnt, experiences from the project's demo actions, and key CityLoops instruments.

Sneak peak the Replication Packages on the CityLoops website: https://cityloops.eu/construction-demolition-waste/#c4414.
